Today I’m posting my Weekly Wrap Up and II’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s Caffeinated Reviewer. Without further ado:
Books read this week:
This week has been okay in terms of reading. I need to catch up with reviews still and blog hopping but I’m slowly but surely getting there. I’ve not finished The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno Garcia, I’m still about a third of the way through that one as I put it down for a little while. Hopefully I’ll get back to it this forthcoming week. I’ve completed A Poisoner’s Tale by Cathryn Kemp which is a historical novel based on a real person. I read and already reviewed Heads Will Roll by Josh Winning and I read Tales of a Monstrous Heart by Jennifer Delaney. I really do need to make some headway with reviews and with that in mind I think next week will be devoted to getting ahead so maybe I won’t post Cant Wait Wednesday or Friday Face Off. In SPFBO news I’ve made a start on my final batch of five.
Next Week’s Reads:
I’m hoping to complete The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno Garcia I shall then be picking up Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson and maybe make a start on The Mercy of Gods by James SA Corey.

I’m still playing catch up and so been posting quite a bit this week, more than I usually do anyway. I don’t really like double posting but it has helped me to start getting ahead with reviews. This week I completed The Wilds by Sarah Pearse. I also read and loved A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher. And I also completed a novella, A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience by Stephanie Burgis, which was very entertaining. I’m currently reading The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno Garcia, I’m about a third of the way through that one. I’ve also nearly finished A Poisoner’s Tale by Cathryn Kemp.

Books read this week:
I’m slowly catching back up. Doing some blog hopping and writing a couple of reviews. I’ve done a lot of reading this week, mainly because I reached the conclusion that the only way my leg is going to get better is if I stop jumping up and down doing things. So, much sitting and reading. The house is an utter pigsty. This week I completed The Trouble with Mrs Montgomery Hurst by Katie Lumsden which I really enjoyed. If you want an Austenish type story in your life then give it a try. I did pick up The Undermining of Twyla and Frank but for now I’ve set that to one side. Maybe I’ll give it another go in a few weeks. I’m currently reading The Wilds by Sarah Pearse but it’s early days. I’ve also started A Poisoner’s Tale by Cathryn Kemp and so far so good. I completed The Drowning House by Cherie Priest. I enjoyed this but it’s not my favourite by the author. I read The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst which is a lovely story that I couldn’t resist falling for. Finally I read Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan which was an odd little number that I had a good time blasting through.
Next Week’s Reads:
I’d like to complete The Wilds and A Poisoner’s Tale (hopefully within July). I still have one review book left for July but I also have quite a few on my shelves for August. I think I’ll play it by ear and hope to stay on track. I will say that I have a Kingfisher, a James SA Corey and a Silvia Moreno Garcia coming up very soon which I’m very excited to dive into.

Books read this week:
So, I’ve been very absent from the blog. I managed to strain a muscle in my leg and it’s been a flipping nuisance and has stolen my mojo for everything. Anyway, I’ve still tucked some reading under my belt and have a few reviews due. I read and really loved The Moonlight Market by Joanne Harris. I also completed my second batch of SPFBO books reading 25% of them all. I’ll be posting my third batch soon. I also read Love Letters To A Serial Killer by Tasha Coryell. What an unusual read this was. Finally, I’ve made a good start on The Trouble With Mrs Montgomery Hurst by Katie Lumsden which I’m thoroughly enjoying.

Bookforager‘s Picture Prompt book bingo
This month I’m ticking another book off my Picture Prompt bingo card. The picture with the harp. I’m using Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs. This involves the search for a magical item, a lyre – but this item changes and is sometimes referred to as a harp.
PICTURE PROMPT BOOK BINGO 2024 (TEXT VERSION)
| A microscope | A partially unrolled scroll and a pen | ||
| An old Roman coin | A simple crown | ||
| A seashell | |||
| An old camera and tripod | A beehive (with four bees flying around it) | Fluffy cumulonimbus clouds |
So far this year I’ve read a total of 62 books so I’m on track to read my 100 books for a year.
How did you get on during June?
